      Ice-free areas are expanding worldwide due to dramatic glacier shrinkage and are undergoing rapid colonization by multiple lifeforms, thus representing key environments to study ecosystem development. It has been proposed that the colonization dynamics of deglaciated terrains is different between surface and deep soils but that the heterogeneity between communities inhabiting surface and deep soils ...
    • Tempo and drivers of plant diversification in the European mountain system 

      Smyčka, Jan; Roquet, Cristina; Boleda, Martí; Alberti, Adriana; Boyer, Frédéric; Douzet, Rolland; Perrier, Christophe; Rome, Maxime; Valay, Jean-Gabriel; Denoeud, France; Šemberová, Kristýna; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Thuiller, Wilfried; Wincker, Patrick; Alsos, Inger Greve; Coissac, Eric; Lavergne, Sébastien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-18)
      There is still limited consensus on the evolutionary history of species-rich temperate alpine floras due to a lack of comparable and high-quality phylogenetic data covering multiple plant lineages. Here we reconstructed when and how European alpine plant lineages diversified, i.e., the tempo and drivers of speciation events. We performed full-plastome phylogenomics and used multi-clade comparative ...
    • The treasure vault can be opened: large-scale genome skimming works well using herbarium and silica gel dried material 

      Alsos, Inger Greve; Lavergne, Sebastien; Merkel, Marie Kristine Føreid; Boleda, Marti; Lammers, Youri; Alberti, Adriana; Pouchon, Charles; Denoeud, France; Pitelkova, Iva; Pușcaș, Mihai; Roquet, Cristina; Hurdu, Bogdan-Iuliu; Thuiller, Wilfried; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Hollingsworth, Peter M.; Coissac, Eric (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-01)
      Genome skimming has the potential for generating large data sets for DNA barcoding and wider biodiversity genomic studies, particularly via the assembly and annotation of full chloroplast (cpDNA) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences. We compare the success of genome skims of 2051 herbarium specimens from Norway/Polar regions with 4604 freshly collected, silica gel dried specimens mainly from ...
